According to a Maryland Patch.com article, Freeman died yesterday afternoon from injuries sustained in a morning car accident on the Baltimore Beltway. Icy roads from the storm Wednesday contributed to the crash, but she may also have been driving too fast when she hit the tractor-trailer, which was slowing down for another crash ahead of the overpass, according to the report.

Rescuers had to cut Freeman out of the car and she was then taken to a trauma center, where she died. Two other victims in the crash were taken to Franklin Square Hospital Center with non-life-threatening injuries. The accidents backed up the Inner Loop of the beltway for several miles for much of the afternoon as investigators worked at the scene, the report said.

Born Sept. 29, 1986, Freeman graduated in 2005 from North Hunterdon, where she was an honors student. She was a graduate of the University of Rhode Island and Towson University, where she received a master’s degree in accounting, according to her Facebook page.

Surviving are her mother and father, Susan and Scott Freeman. Lindsay was engaged to Justin Turner North of Pasadena, Calif., who graduated last year from the Navy Academy in Annapolis, Md. He served in the Marine Corps from 2003 to 2006. The couple was planning a wedding for this July.
